Almost 240 students from the college were honoured yesterday during the first ceremony for the college for 2010.

Colin Morgan is due to receive an award of distinction at today's ceremony for his contribution to the arts.

The Armagh man is best known for playing the title character in the BBC television series Merlin.

Former Belfast Met student Claire Donnelly is conference and events manager at the Grand Opera House and has been ensuring that the graduation ceremonies go to plan.

She said: “Today is a very special day for me as I feel it has come around full circle.

“I remember how fantastic I felt when I was graduating from the College and the mixture of nerves and excitement that went with it.

“I feel really privileged to be playing such an important role in the organisation of the graduation ceremony, especially as it is the first of its kind for the Opera House.”

Speaking at yesterday's ceremony, the college's director and chief executive Marie-Thérèse McGivern said to the graduates: “The dedication and commitment you have shown is a credit to you all and the qualifications you have obtained today will give you a solid foundation on which to build your career and enhance your lifelong learning.

“I would like to congratulate all students on their academic achievements and wish you all every success in the future.”
